After being set out later than intended, half of my tomatoes (4 of
8) got chewed off by something, probably rabbits. But they didn't get them at ground level, so there were secondary buds left for regrowth. They are now looking vibrant despite the heat and lack of rain. And they are finally forming flower buds.
The other 4 are also looking killer and all have small green fruit. If history is any guide, those will ripen fully around the weekend later this month when we are out of town.
These normally deliver sauce sized harvests around early August. Given the late planting in the partly-reclaimed garden, that may be a few weeks later this year. But I'll have sandwiches and salads until then
I'm still finishing off my 2019 pasta sauce. Fresh will be nice. The old sauce is going slowly because I won't feed it to anyone but myself at this point.
